Hi Jim, nice image. If you really want to colour correct the sky then it is fairly simple in ACR/ lightroom. Produce a sky mask and intersect it with a linear gradient angled at about 20 degrees up on the left with the green part below and to the left and the purple above and to the right. Now...

Kittiwake. We only have the black legged variety in Europe. Ken

The first rain for weeks fell on Tuesday night, this was Tuesday afternoon. I got caught in a thunderstorm on Wednesday. Our thunderstorms are far less dangerous than yours, usually sheet lightening and not fork but sudden winds and heavy rain just like your storms.

My wife and I spent a couple of days in Yorkshire photographing the heather. It is earlier than usual but more surprisingly, the bracken and many trees are already showing signs of Autumn. Peak Autumn colours here are usually in the first week of November so this is extremely early. This summer...

Two Cormorants at the coast yesterday. I only had my 28-200mm lens with me so lots of cropping to get this. Ken

Jim, having witnessed a total eclipse I wasn’t going to get excited about a 90% partial. It was total in Northern Spain but that was too far especially since I was there in May this year and they have a disturbing number of forest fires plus 100F+ temperatures

I have delicate this time.

Another low flow waterfall from the Fairy Glen in Northern Scotland. Unusually, for me, it is a 1/10s exposure instead of my usual long exposures. Ken

Not terribly exciting but nice that I can walk to the bottom of my garden and photograph it. Some thin high cloud in the way. Ken

Back again at high tide, mid day light not so good but still ok. Ken

About 50 yrs ago I worked as an electronic engineer for IBM. My daily drive to work brought me past this view of Dumbarton Castle under the Rock and Ben Lomond. Unfortunately in the intervening years they have built riverside flats and a bowls pavilion spoiling the view. The tide was out so I...

All from less than 30 minutes standing in a flooded filed at the edge of my town. Ken

Hi Jim, sorry for the slow reply. I use a Sony A7R5 and a Sigma 100-400. The Razorbill is just thinking about landing and twisting its body round to slow itself down. As they do this they stick their legs out and flap backwards, exactly the same as Puffins. They are both poor flyers beating...

Yes Alan fairly low flow

Fairy Glen waterfall. Previously unprocessed for some reason that escapes me. Ken

"two countries separated by a common language". It is an odd name and would not be called that if it were named today. Ken

Tannin from the oak woods that this river flows through Alan. The soil here also has lots of peat. The Lake District rivers have a blue/ green tint with lots of slate in the area. Ken

A small slice of a local small waterfall. Ken

Razorbills are fairly rare on the Farnes, only 500 pairs as opposed to Puffins with 40,000 pairs. Ken

Following Larry's snow shot, here is one of mine from my local 12thC church. British weather continues to be unusual, or should I say unusual for pre 2010, since then incredibly warm spells, weeks of rain followed by weeks of drought have, unfortunately, become more usual. Here in the North of...
